After finally driving away the city management officers, Lin Chuan patted Zhou Kai on the shoulder and said, "Are you okay, kid?"

"I'm fine." Zhou Kai grinned and replied, "It's all thanks to Brother Chuan."

"What credit, you guys did well too." Lin Chuan gave a smile, then with a cigarette in his mouth, said, "This must be that bastard Liu Jianguo's doing. So, you guys need to be careful."

"Yeah." Zhou Kai nodded. "Liu Gou must want the machinery inside. Our stage is blocking his way."

"Correct." Lin Chuan nodded. "If they come back next time, call me."

"Got it." Zhou Kai nodded.

It took Zhou Kai and his friends more than half a month to build this stage, which shows how massive the project was. How could they let it be torn down just like that? This was absolutely unacceptable.

Captain Liu left.

"Brother Chuan, lucky you were here." Zhou Kai chuckled. "Otherwise, we would've been in trouble."

"Even though Captain Liu has left, the police might be tough to deal with." Lin Chuan squinted his eyes.

"What's there to fear?" Zhou Kai brandished two firefighting axes in his hands and said, "Meet force with force, meet the flood with embankment. No matter how many of them come, we'll take them all on."

"That's easier said than done, though. If we clash with the police, we're the ones who'll suffer," Lin Chuan worried internally.

"So what should we do?" Zhou Kai frowned and asked, "We can't just suffer losses, right?"

"Don't worry, we'll find a way when we get there," Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"Right!" Zhou Kai nodded.

Chen Jianjun arrived at the scene with more than ten people and laughed, "Where's Lin Chuan?"

"Is it you?" Zhou Kai recognized the guy. Last time, when they were seeking payment at Heng'an Group's construction site, it was him who brought a group of people to the scene. If Lin Chuan hadn't been there, probably they all would have been arrested. Zhou Kai sneered, "What do you want?"

"I wasn't talking to you, get Lin Chuan over here!" Chen Jianjun barked.

Zhou Kai wasn't afraid of Chen Jianjun: "I don't know where Brother Chuan is, if you want him, you can give him a call."

"Wow, quite lively here." Suddenly, a cold voice rang out, full of mockery and sarcasm.

Everyone turned to look, and Lin Chuan, clad in a black trench coat, walked over with a strange smile at the corner of his mouth. At his appearance, everyone got excited: "Brother Chuan is here!"

Lin Chuan had become a kind of faith and symbol in the hearts of Zhou Kai and his friends. His arrival was like a brilliant ray of sunshine.

"Lin Chuan, perfect timing." Chen Jianjun sneered, "Get your men to tear down this stage pronto, it violates city management regulations. Without the approval of the City Management Bureau, this stage is an illegal construction."

"Ah, Officer Chen, it was really hard to build this stage, why insist on demolishing it?" Lin Chuan sneered.

"This doesn't comply with regulations. I'm giving you time to tear it down on good terms, but legally, you need to do it now," Chen Jianjun ordered.

Lin Chuan simply sat on the ground: "Then please show me the procedure for dismantling this stage, otherwise, we'll just wait it out. I'll just sit right here."

Chen Jianjun, seeing this, was furious but helpless and eventually had to leave resentfully.

No sooner had they left than a Golden Cup Car charged in. The car doors flung open, and more than a dozen menacing individuals stepped out.

Those dozen or so people were clearly thugs, and without a word, they started fighting.

Lin Chuan didn't recognize these people, and they weren't from the demolition office; could they be from the Northeast Tiger's group?

After thinking it over, that seemed to be the only explanation.

One of the gangsters, nearly 1.9 meters tall, wielding a baton, rushed towards Lin Chuan, who was sitting on the ground, without saying a word.

Lin Chuan leaped up, and the tall thug's attack missed. Then four more guys rushed towards Lin Chuan, attempting to surround him. They thought their plan was succeeding, but obviously, they had underestimated Lin Chuan's strength.

Bang...

Lin Chuan kicked out. The thug in front staggered back several steps, almost falling over. After tottering, he immediately lay on the ground, unable to get up. The other three thugs were shocked, with their mouths agape.

"Screw you." The thug on the left charged at him with a baton.

"Humph!" Lin Chuan snorted coldly and shot forward with a kick.

Thud...

The opponent was immediately sent flying upon impact, crashing to the ground, sliding along it like a snowboard. The other ruffians charged at Lin Chuan again. Lin Chuan swept his gaze over them, instantly mastering their angles and trajectories.

Bang bang...

Two of the thugs were not just knocked over by Lin Chuan's blows or crashes. Instead, he swiftly circled behind them, bypassing their attacks with his agile speed. Seizing one thug by the collar, he lifted the man up and hurled him hard toward another. The two collided on the spot, both tumbling head over heels.

"Brother Chuan, that's awesome," Lu Dapao shouted excitedly.

"Heh heh..." Lin Chuan hooked a smile and said, "Brothers, don't lift a finger. Whoever does will have to answer to me."

They naturally heeded Lin Chuan's words.

Clang... Clang...

These mysterious ruffians were battle-hardened, and even though they were no match for Lin Chuan, they easily took on Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao. Working together, they struck from the left and right. Zhou Kai and the others couldn't fend on both sides and were quickly overpowered, then viciously beaten with clubs.

"Damn it." The thugs had a strong presence, dragging Zhou Kai by his legs to throw him aside. Another thug was ready to catch and tie him up with ropes. Zhou Kai roared furiously, "Damn it! Let me go, let me go!"

Lin Chuan, with a cigarette dangling, watched as Zhou Kai was captured by the thugs, his irritation flaring instantly. Flicking away the cigarette butt, he quickly approached them. At this moment, seven or eight thugs swiftly raised their shields, blocking Lin Chuan's path.

Boom...

Lin Chuan, with his flesh and blood body, crashed fiercely against the robust wall of men. The formidable formation remained unflinching after the impact, which incensed Lin Chuan. The shields before him were not just shields; they were a clear provocation.

Lin Chuan immediately wound up his fists.

"Die!" he bellowed, charging forward with a burst of speed.

Boom...

This time, he hammered his fist into a man in the middle. The man spat blood on the spot, leaving everyone gaping in disbelief. It was inconceivable to see someone's chest cavity collapse under the force of a bare fist.

"Stop." At that moment, a voice rang out.

The crowd looked over curiously to see Zhang Wenhui and Song Xiaojia hastily descending from the police car.

Chen Jianjun followed them out of the car.

"Xiao Jia, why have you come?" Chen Jianjun looked at Song Xiaojia with adoration.

"If I hadn't come, who knows what would have become of Lin Chuan and the others," Song Xiaojia glared at Chen Jianjun.

"I really don't know these people; I've just left when I got the message that there was a fight here, it has nothing to do with me."

Seeing the police coming, the gang rushed into a Golden Cup Car and quickly sped away, with Song Xiaojia and her group unable to stop them.

"Humph." Lin Chuan snorted lightly: "Chen Jianjun, you play dirty, huh?"

Zhang Wenhui stood smoking to the side without saying a word. Chen Jianjun was on the same level as himself, and even when he worked under him, he never took him seriously. Now that they were equals, Chen Jianjun was even more arrogant. It was more appropriate to leave this matter to Song Xiaojia to handle.

When Chen Jianjun heard this, he became angry: "Nonsense, what the hell does it have to do with me? Just hurry up and dismantle it."

"This is a matter for the City Management Bureau, what does it have to do with you?" Song Xiaojia interrogated Chen Jianjun.

"The City Management Bureau called me for help, naturally, I have to understand the situation," retorted Chen Jianjun with a sneer.

"Do you have a document?" Song Xiaojia said dismissively: "This has to be officially issued by the deputy head of the City Management Bureau. If there is no document, your action is a violation."

"I..." Chen Jianjun was taken aback. Did such a trivial matter really require official paperwork? Besides, hadn't past operations always been settled with just a call from higher-ups? How could it be that his own situation now required issuing paperwork? Chen Jianjun shook his head.

"Humph, if you really want to cooperate with their operation, please immediately get a document from the deputy head of the City Management Bureau," Song Xiaojia said coldly.

Chen Jianjun was at a loss for words when someone ran over, took a look, and said in surprise, "The approval letter... this stage has been approved by both the City Committee and the City Construction Bureau."

"What?!" Chen Jianjun exclaimed in shock.
